Arctic Cat offers a crossover for every rider and style. The Riot™ rides lighter, hits harder and handles tighter than ever. Whether you’re diving off-trail or carving groomed runs at speed, these crossover snowmobiles respond with ease and authority.
A 397cc single-cylinder 2-stroke engine with 65-class horsepower and electronic fuel injection (EFI) offers quicker, more responsive power that gives you a smoother take off every time.
With an industry-first design that’s compact and lightweight, this EFI engine brings 65-hp and 397cc performance to every ride, all while remaining under 50 lbs. A 3-stage exhaust valve system takes this power to the next level, delivering improved throttle response and better overall engine performance. As a liquid cooled engine, a counter balance shaft eliminates most engine vibration. The result—a lightweight-but-mighty power source that fuels a ride like no other.
